Over to take a break from the long and monotonous task of creating the IRIS user manual I open up DINA (Dawn’s Internet News edition ) just to scan the headlines…(I do so forcefully since I am no newspaper buff) as I quickly browse the small extracts of the main news, Noori’s “Muhjya Roko” plays in my ears… All I see in the newspaper is the news about terrorism, political chaos, verdicts of jirgas, accusations and meetings of the diplomats and beaurucrats ….I feel an urge to write out what ought to b said truthfully and bluntly…try and stop me 
Needless to say I end up being frustrated why it says that a decision in some tribal area gave away two under age daughters of a man in marriage to over aged men to settle a ‘Karo Kari’ issue…I mean what sick minded, pervert lunatics settle the issues of Izzat by punishing young , innocent beings who probably do not even know what the word ‘marriage’ means! If some relative of the kids did something wrong then what justice is it to take out the wrath on another channel..no wonder the human justice is badly tainted and marred withour petty prejudices and limited understanding.!
”Mjhy Roko” shifts over to “I want to live like an animal” by Savage Garden and I feel myself wanting to spit out all that is shooting worms in my mind….
It’s sad to know that Afghanistan is accusing Pakland for attacks on it’s embassy and then again we weren’t very loyal to our brothers when we gave our basis to Uncle Sam to attack them….what can we say. Then we have the series of blasts and the political leaders putting up a nerve wrecking comedy up there … savage Garden stops soothing my mind and Linkin Park jusm in with “Numb”…ah what timely songs my play list contains now doesn’t it???
And aaargh the diplomacy of other nations in pretending that they care about us or we for them and would like each other to come out of miseries is so fake that if we believe that then I am sure you can also believe that I am the queen of England (with all due respect). I don’t want my rationalization to be checked by the warped state of affairs although I am not sure if I am any more rational then the people out there and they definitely have an advantage of being driven and active too….Bon Jovi starts crying “It’s my life” in my head” and I chuckle…sometimes somethings just fit…fine…from chaos emerges order…and then again how will the news paper become sensational if all this sad and unfortunate, heart wrenching events don’t occur…nopse it’s not a warfare of nukes or anything that drastic at all…it’s simply the game of screwing up the mind peace and psyche of the masses…Nickelback starts crooning “If everyone cared’ and I decide to get back to work now….Hope still keeps burning like that famous John Elton’s song’s phrase says…
Like candle in the wind!

That’s why I really think the biggest issue with muslim world in general and Pakistan is ignorance.
The Karo Kari you mentioned is a classic example ( a clear deviation from the teachings of our great religion based on the concept of justice and equality of human beings).
As you said your self in case of Pakistan(Pakland is a cement company)and Afghanistan, that’w what has happened through out the muslim history divisions between muslims exploited by others,history full of betraying each other,leaders showing their strength to own weak people and licking feet of foreign powers and finally ending up in mutual destruction.
We need to change our selves (instead of waiting for miracles like candle blowing water instead of fire, i hope it has nothing to do with fuel prices nature is not short of it).
@Faisal,
Ya we need to change and the change starts from self…we start getting stronger and those associated with us also eventually and subconsciously begin to adopt our habits….I’ve seen that.
Firstly we also need to develop an urge to learn more and be patient and then try to see all angles of the picture…May Almighty guide us all, Aameen
P.S. I like calling it Pakland…this is also a cement compnay, trying to build a firm base (yeah corny i know) and ah you u’ve got no poetic soul in you to apppreciate the pic
When I read the title of this post, I thought you were writing about the recently deceased 108-year old blogger and her ‘happy song’. Now I realize that was a huge jump in assumption
“we start getting stronger and those associated with us also eventually and subconsciously begin to adopt our habits”
getting stronger for a cause (thats what i believe in and infact trying to do) but don’t want people to follow me subconsciously or even following me , i want people to go for the cause of justice and good consciously with there will( consciously coz in that way i can know different point of views and can see where i m wrong).
yep agreed with the learning part BUT still cant understand the relation between the topic and the copy paste stupid pic of candle blowing water WUUUHHHHHHHHHH!!!
@Absar
hehe youjust pointed out a big lesson of life… the assumptions can be mighty awry and off track than the facts..hehe 108 years old!! really?? Cool…..I’d be going apes and bananas at that age but hardly be able to type in posts:-D Kudos to her!!
@Faisal
different points of views are good provided you are able to withstand them too…we all say that we are willing to see the other side of the pic but are never open minded enough to accept them and then change them or ourselves for the better.
Patience is the key anyway and be it happens subconscioulsy or willingly…in the end we do wake up to changes happening to us.
As for the pic of the candle…pretend it’s not there, it’s connection with the post is for me to know and you to puzzle over
Bon jovi lyrics Music – Bon Jovi is a hard rock band from Sayreville
Bon Jovi is a hard rock band from Sayreville, New Jersey. Fronted by lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi, the group originally achieved large-scale success in the 1980s. Over the past 25 years, Bon Jovi has sold over 120 million albums worldwide, including 34 million in the United States alone.
Bon Jovi formed in 1983 with lead singer Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Richie Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, bassist Alec John Such, and drummer Tico Torres. Other than the departure of Alec John Such in 1994 (which pared the lineup down to a quartet), the lineup has remained the same for the past 25 years. After two moderately successful albums in 1984 and 1985, the band scored big with Slippery When Wet (1986) and New Jersey (1988), which sold a combined 19 million copies in the U.S. alone, charted eight Top Ten hits (including four number one hits), and launched the band into global super stardom. After non-stop touring, the band went on hiatus after the New Jersey Tour in 1990, during which time Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora both released successful solo albums. In 1992, the band returned with the double platinum Keep the Faith and has since created a string of platinum albums throughout the 1990s and 2000s.
In 2006, the band won a Grammy for best Country Collaboration for “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” with Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland and also became the first rock band to reach #1 on the Hot Country Songs chart with the same song. The band has also received multiple Grammy nominations for music from the albums Crush, Bounce, and Lost Highway.
Throughout their career, the band has released ten studio albums, of which nine have gone platinum. In addition, the band has charted 19 singles to the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, four of which reached #1 (“You Give Love a Bad Name”, “Livin’ on a Prayer”, “Bad Medicine”, and “I’ll Be There for You”). The band also holds the record for the most weeks for a hard rock album at #1 on the Billboard 200 with Slippery When Wet, as well as the most Top 10 singles from a hard rock album, with New Jersey, which charted five such singles.
